Bob Hueter discusses research being conducted by the Georgia Aquarium, Mote Marine Laboratory, and Mexican scientists off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. He talks about the research being conducted by the Georgia Aquarium in partnership with Mote Marine Laboratory and Mexican scientists off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Up until a few years ago, a congregation of hundreds of whale sharks was unknown to science. Now the population being studied is considered to be the largest congregation of whale sharks in the world. Since 2004, Dr. Bob Hueter from Mote Marine Laboratory, in partnership with the Georgia Aquarium, has conducted research on this newly discovered population of whale sharks. To date, more than 550 whale sharks have been tagged with either conventional tags or satellite tags. The science coming out of Mexico is offering insight into where whale sharks swim, how deep they dive, how much they grow and how much they eat.
